"Can't sleep well without me?"
She shot him an annoyed look and glanced at the drawer, "What book is it that you're reading so intently in the middle of the night without sleeping?"
With a light hum, Emperor Quan hugged her tightly in front of him, his voice deep.
"It's the remaining chapters of 'Golden Seal Jade Box' that we seized from the bat at Salt Plaza last time."
Zhan Se was aware of this matter; she had known about it before.
But hearing it now felt slightly different.
She paused, slightly surprised, raised her eyebrows, and asked casually, "Is the book my brother's?"
Her use of "my brother" was very casual. So casual that Emperor Quan couldn't detect any emotion in her tone, as if she didn't really care about that person.
But he knew she did care, deeply.
